Miss TWA 2014 Finale

On Saturday 26th July at 1pm slt, The White Armory in Secondlife hosted the finale of the Miss TWA 2014 contest and what a finale it was.

The stage was set, ten nervous finalists patiently waited backstage, the judges came and took their seats, as did the audience. I started off in full flow for the first ten minutes and then crashed out of SL just as I was about to announce the third finalist onto the runway. In the four years that I have been running this wonderful contest, it was certainly a first for me.

A few moments later and I was back inworld and continued with proceedings. The first set was fantasy where the finalists wore the outfits they styled and submitted photos for the semi-final a few weeks ago. For the second set I chose to take the finalists Back to Prims to test their styling skills. Also the majority of Bee’s work is now mesh, so it was a wonderful opportunity to show off her prim gowns, which are just as beautiful now as they were a few years ago and I also noticed quite a few of the audience also wearing a prim gown as a wonderful testament to this talented ladies work.

Once all the finalists had completed their two sets and the finale, Miss TWA 2013, Mari Hawkes spoke about her year since winning last year’s title. Owners of The White Armory Colton and Bee then took to the stage to say a few words before Colton set the audience a quiz whilst I counted up the judge’s scores.

The runners-up and winners were announced as per the photo above on the left in red, 2nd runner-up: Aabbi Rhode, on the right in blue and white, 1st runner-up: Sloan Bellflower and in the centre, the winner of Miss TWA 2014, Odelissa Love.

Live entertainment from Brixton Canning

After the finale, everyone headed to the ballroom where The White Armory Rangers held a charity ball. The DJ played a few tunes before handing the baton over to live singer Brixton Canning who has an amazing voice. Everyone danced and had fun.

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who either took part or who were involved in this year’s Miss TWA contest. It is a contest that Bee, Colton, Ida and I love to put on at The White Armory every year and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do.

I am now in the process of planning a late summer fashion show at The White Armory, details of which will follow shortly, so keep an eye out for notices. Until next time …
